Chapter 275: No Way to Escape

~8 min read 1,441 words

As soon as Wu Xian got on the bridge.

He saw the coffins and urns on the bridge.

"Was it brought by that suona sound just now? Where did the person blowing the suona go?"

"And this bridge... it's also different."

On the bridge railing, three human-head statues were carved.

One had a dazed expression of intoxication, one had wide-open eyes and an open mouth, and one had a resentful and hateful look. The three human-head statues were like humans yet not human, giving one an indescribable sense of horror.

"Three Immortals Bridge..."

Wu Xian was studying this bridge when he suddenly heard dog barking. Turning his head, he saw a dirty large yellow dog running over, followed by two white-collar ladies.

At this point.

The six Lotus Juanren dragged into this Fudi and the seven newcomers, a total of six men and seven women, all stood on the Three Immortals Bridge.

Several newcomers were in a state of shock.

Their mental state was extremely unstable, clamoring for an explanation and clarification.

Wen Chao stood out and quickly explained the concepts of Fudi and Lotus Juanren to everyone. In just a few sentences, the newcomers understood the current situation.

For a moment, they were all stunned.

No matter how concise and clear Wen Chao's explanation was, this reality was very difficult for them to accept.

But the reality was already before their eyes, and the information had been conveyed. If they knew all this and still wanted to court death, then let them die.

One of the survival rules of the Fudi.

Is not to expect others to pay for your own stupidity.

Next was the process that must happen every time one enters a Fudi.

Self-introduction.

It is very difficult to survive alone in a Fudi; only by understanding each other can there be a basis for cooperation.

Due to the unclear situation, everyone spoke very briefly.

Wu Xian only said that he had entered the Fudi four times, and Wen Chao's introduction style was similar.

When it came to Du E, she claimed to be a female high school student, weak and helpless, hoping that everyone could help her more.

The woman in the long dress sized up Du E twice, then leaned against the railing and chuckled.

"My name is Jian Lingyu, I have no job, this is my fourth time in a Fudi, my blessing is more inclined towards the auxiliary aspect, this time I will rely on everyone to protect me."

Wu Xian's eyebrows raised slightly.

He had been suspicious when he first saw Jian Lingyu.

This woman's makeup was exquisite, her long dress was loose and heavy, her large hat even had lace, and she wore a jade bracelet on her fair wrist.

Although this outfit looked very good, it was inconvenient for movement, which was a disadvantage in a Fudi.

But if her ability was in the auxiliary aspect, it would be very reasonable.

She might not have intended to fight at all.

But in a Fudi, can one really survive without fighting?

Next were the man and woman in black suits. These two were empty-handed in reality, but after entering the Fudi, they both had things in their hands.

The man had a knife in his hand, and the woman had an umbrella in her hand; these should be the artifacts they brought in using their Constant Ornament.

"I am Wei Hengbo, this is my sister Wei Qinglan, this is the second time our brother and sister have entered a Fudi, and we will both survive and get out."

Wei Hengbo's last sentence was to himself.

Wu Xian was stunned for a moment.

Seeing their weather-beaten appearance, he had thought they were veterans, but he didn't expect them to be semi-new Lotus Juanren.

But thinking about it carefully, this was also reasonable.

Although these two seemed very calm, there was panic and unease hidden deep in their eyes, and if they were senior Lotus Juanren, they shouldn't say such self-comforting words.

After the Lotus Juanren came the newcomers dragged in.

The two white-collar women both worked nearby; they were colleagues and friends, renting a house nearby together, and would come here on time every day after work to feed the dog.

One was named Jiang Chun, the other was Ran Qiuhua.

Both of these two were good-looking, belonging to the upper-middle level among ordinary people.

But these two women didn't attract Wu Xian's attention as much as that large yellow dog. Hearing the two women say that this large yellow dog was called "Qihuang," it was a friend's dog that stayed under the bridge for some reason and refused to leave, so they came to feed it every day.

Li the Great Immortal was homeless and lived under the bridge.

Su Xuan's home was nearby, living alone, seemingly having experienced something, spending his days drinking.

The middle-aged woman was named Miao Xiaohua, the owner of a nearby convenience store. While watching short videos, she accidentally saw someone fishing with a water bottle and came to the bridge to experiment. Who knew that just playing for a while would drag her into the danger of the Fudi.

The two men on the bridge.

One was named Yang Bin, a poor middle-aged corporate slave who came out for a walk after being full.

There was also a younger man in a jacket with slightly yellow hair. He was hesitant when saying his name, only willing to say his surname was Gao, telling everyone to just call him Little Gao.

Wu Xian watched the whole process.

At least half of the thirteen people weren't telling the truth, or hadn't told the whole story, intentionally concealing something, but this information was enough for now.

Everyone had things they didn't want to tell others; there was no need to get to the bottom of it.

They had just finished their self-introductions.

When a bone-chilling cold wind blew. The bridge was arched, so the wind was strongest at the highest point of the bridge.

Most people were shivering from the cold.

But Wu Xian even felt a bit hot.

Anyway, not many things could be brought into the Fudi from the outside, so Wu Xian wore as many clothes as possible, making himself a size wider, so that at least he didn't have to worry about his clothes being damaged in the Fudi.

What surprised Wu Xian a bit.

Was that Jian Lingyu, wearing a light long dress, didn't feel cold either. She said to everyone.

"It should be night in the Fudi now, we can't keep staying on this bridge, where should we go next?"

"Let's climb high and take a look first."

There were things like coffins on the bridge, and standing on them would allow one to see higher.

But no one wanted to court death.

In the end, Wei Qinglan rode on her brother's neck and looked at the roads on both sides of the bridge. Just by being a bit higher, the view became very good.

After she looked at both sides, she jumped down from Wei Hengbo: "The east side of the bridge is brightly lit, it should be a prosperous town; the west side of the bridge only has a few lanterns lit, the scale is not large, it looks like a small village, and it looks very dilapidated."

Miao the middle-aged woman, Yang Bin, and others were immediately happy.

"Great, then let's go to the east of the bridge!"

The east of the bridge was indeed a good place to go.

From the perspective of the newcomers, it was brightly lit, indicating that there were many living people, and with many living people, their probability of survival was higher, and Wu Xian and other Lotus Juanren weren't necessarily trustworthy.

But Wu Xian felt.

One must have reverse thinking in a Fudi; perhaps the brightly lit places were full of demons and ghosts, and the dim lanterns on the west side of the bridge were the traces of human life.

"Woof woof woof!"

The large yellow dog barked fiercely.

Du E said in a dry voice: "I think, we should stop discussing where to go for now, survival is the most important..."

It was seen that at some point.

Some swaying figures appeared on both sides of the bridge. These figures were dirty and covered in mud, their faces pale and terrifying, some without noses, some with teeth exposed—they were clearly walking corpses!

As far as everyone could see, all the roads were occupied by walking corpses.

The Lotus Juanren had no way to escape!
